Persistence, determination and commitment

Persistence, determination and commitment these are 3 very strong emotions, they are essentially cousins however they are all needed to achieve anything life. Persistence is having the faith to continue with that goal, whist determination is saying I will get that goal and commitment is the same thing. It's about knowing what you want and going for it.

Persistence is about knowing what you want and going for it no matter what, sticking with that goal through the rough times that's where determination and commitment come in. Its about being determined to see something through to the end as well as being committed to that end.

Business Jim Rohn put this so well in relation to being determined to get your goal, it shows the art of persistence and commitment also. The quote is.

"When you find your mountain in life go for it, some people will say no that mountain is to high, too rocky or to steep, you are not good enough". His response to this is "I am going to the top, you are either going to see me waving my flag from the top of that mountain or dead on the side as I am not coming back".

We call all learn something from this, its saying once you have chosen your goal and dream go for it. There will be people out there who are going to say you can't do such. Why do you not try this one or throw their negative rubbish at you. However the person who ultimately win's is the person who picks himself up and dusts himself off in those rough times. He does not quit on his way to his goal, now sure there will be times when they say oh this is too tough. I am not good enough. It's about working through those times and just going for it, continuing no matter what happens.

Sure the universe is going to test us to see how committed and persistent we are achieving that which we desire most. However when one is persistent, determined and committed and the universe knows that they are not giving up then that person receives that which they are asking for if they are prepared to pay the price which the universe does ask for achievement of that goal.

Acceptance

<![CDATA[

One thing that is vitally important in life is acceptance, not just by yourself others also. One of my greatest battles has been getting others to accept that I am who I am as a person. I have my own personal limits and tolerances what I am able to do as a person. We are essentially a product of our own upbringing that we are brought up to believe things by our own family as they think they may know best.

Some people literally refuse to accept others decisions in life. They refuse to accept that the person wants to work in a volunteer role, they refuse to accept that the person has chosen to do what they want, they refuse to accept the person getting married and living their own life. They think that they can control you or tell you want to do as a person. Part of my battle has been such, having people in my life that refused to accept my choice and decision.

It is my right to make that decision and my choice be it right or wrong no matter what. I recently made a major decision and well it's time to implement that decision, it's going to take work time and patience yet it is possible to achieve that goal. There is a way it's just finding such and going from there. For me things are moving forward it's just needing to take it as it comes and say well lets go.

Some people do not see the opportunity in front of them because they are so conditioned by their family or past that they do not notice it. Others know it's easiest to wait and say ok it's not good right now or I need to wait longer. This time I have to say that the time is right for me to do what has to be done.

Respect

Core values, well people have many different belief systems and most of them are built; around whom we are as a person. Therefore, that means that we are essentially a combination of our own upbringing and personality; everyone is different in what they will accept and will not accept. To me there are few signs of rudeness and they say hey I do not respect you or what I have to say is more important to me than anything you are saying.

The main sign of disrespect to me is the fact that some talks over you when you are speaking or when you take a quick breath of air. This can happen when you are talking on the phone, when you are talking one on one with someone else, when you have guests over. An example I attended a funeral recently and one of the attendee's commented on a small badge I was wearing. Now for me that is ok yet when I went to start talking one of my family; decided to talk right over me. They didn't let me even talk, they just spoke right over me. To me that is very disrespectful and its plain rude in a way; especially if you start trying to talk or about to say something or answer someone else's question and one of your family answers the question for you or takes over the conversation. It is hard when you know that the person doing it has no respect either for you or for others. Another example is yelling out to someone through the door to say goodbye, trying to talk to someone when they are on the phone.

To me the 3rd party is often saying well I do not care about you nor do I respect you in any way. I may be having a conversation with someone and they will butt right it; I know I have done it occasionally, however when it gets constant and to the degree that people just talk or do not let you say what you need to say it gets to rude. Especially when it is happening regularly and it is the same person, I know people who as soon as you start talking about your weekend and what you did; they can launch into another story about what's going on for them or put in their own opinion on the subject without even letting you finish. You literally do not get to even talk about what; it can be them, them, them which is so frustrating. They are like well I do not care in a way or I am more important then you.

Sometimes I go to speak and people just talk right over the top of me or spend 15 minutes talking about one experience they had; even though others have more experience then that person; that person may even be in that industry. You say well I got limited sleep for 48 hours and yet loved it and they will turn around saying that is what it is like in that industry and that is the truth, however I have been in that industry longer then people know. I did not mind the limited sleep, they tend to say well I do not care about what you have to say, let us just listen to what I have to say on the subject in a way. Now that is hard, as often these people have not learned the art of listening they tend to enjoy their own voice speaking. They disrespect people enough that they have to talk right over someone more than anything else does.

It's more that they are self centred and it does not matter that they are stealing another person's thunder, story or just need to talk about them. The one thing these people need to do is listen, they need to learn to listen to what is being said and ask questions on what that person is saying. They do not need to interject with their own stories.

Your why in life

Everyone in life needs to find out why they continue through those thick and thin moments. Is there someone who has stood there beside you through those thick and thin moments and has supported you no matter what may happen? That person has stood beside you no matter what they have seen you through heartbreak these are often you best friends. Sometimes they are in a literal mess themselves. So what do people do to get themselves out of the rubbish and to move on with their lives. They need to stop listening other people's thinking and not taking it on board as a person. In order to find out what you are meant to be in life you need to stop this, you need to stop that chatter in your mind and start thinking for yourself. I know for me what I am meant to be and what I am meant to do.

Sure it's rough at times and it's not easy, however in the end we all do manage to get through it all. It's also about knowing who your influences are as person. Remembering that it's none of your business what others think of you, I know one person drags me down and it's now learning to disassociate from them owing to how they treat me. They have to be told no this is not acceptable, there are others who respect me enough to say you have enough on your plate right now I will just make it worse; that is how much they care about you, so essentially they are saying it's too much for you right now and I care about you as a person. In order to find this why and who you are meant to be in life you need to stop listening to those people who do not respect you, those people who are negative and will drag you down even future.

The people who have the maturity to say it's too much for you with what you are going through are the positive influences in your own life. They stay there, you need to also switch off the negative self talk of those people who have oppressed or belittled you for some reason. That takes work as sometimes you do not even know they are doing such at all, what I am currently doing to remove such is a 30 day mental cleanse which helps me remove that old stinking thinking which has been programmed in for years. This is the only way you can find your why by switching off that chatter and no longer listening to that negative little voice inside yourself.

Finding a job you enjoy

<![CDATA[

Part of me is excited about things that have been going on lately, after having found another piece of the missing puzzle. For me it was great on the weekend it showed me why I do what I do and why I am in that field, I have always been a volunteer in an emergency capacity. For me I have always been out there saving people, helping people in their time of need it's just who I am as a person. Nothing will ever change that, for me personally I have found a job that I love. I do not care that it is volunteer; it's a job that I love and really enjoy. So what makes me enjoy it so much is because I love what I do as a person, it's been great I enjoy helping people making sure they are ok and helping them when they need help.

It's been ages since I did work in the emergency services for a number of reasons yet I enjoy it. There are people out there who are happy doing volunteer jobs and going from there. There are people out there who will never get the emergency services and how much they give or what they often do. Sometimes they put their own lives on the line just to save someone else. Finding a job you enjoy is about finding your own talents and using them. Finding something that motivates you to get to that job and do it. Finding a job you want to do no matter what, everyone has things they enjoy and hate. It's about finding what work they really enjoy and concentrating on doing such until no matter what.
